It can't become mainstream, it is a very narrowly specialized hardware for a very limited set of tasks.
One of those tasks though is "modeling reality".
Quantum computers can't model reality in general. E.g. we're not going to be doing weather prediction or traffic modeling with quantum computers.

The historical debate around Bell's Theorem and Einstein's "spooky action" often leads to this exact confusion, but quantum mechanics has an ironclad mathematical guardrail against this: the No-Communication Theorem. Entanglement cannot be used to transmit messages, amplify bandwidth, or achieve "infinite compression" for a few foundational reasons: 1) The Classical Bottleneck: In quantum teleportation, you aren't ac…
That's the bit I was thinking about the most: "pre-share entanglement to send two classical bits using one physical qubit" I did mention that we cannot achieve data transfer faster than the speed of light, but with the use of "teleportation" we can increase bandwidth that still holds true doesn't it? But that does clarify quite a few things thanks!

llms fall for this every single time lol.

Those that downvoted you didn't get the quantum joke.
And then someone came along and downvoted you. Or maybe it’s just gamma rays. Apparently some people come here for serious discussion. It’s like an alternate universe.
I always appreciate a quantum joke.
Anyway, the article is about Microslop, a mostly-sw company taking about hw quantum computers. What serious discussion is there? Someone just wanted to sell their shares.

#59When quantum computing becomes mainstream, what will be the first standard programming language? I wonder what the 'C' of quantum computers will be

cough Microsoft, quantum cough That's not what I would call "serious discussion".
